Dear all
The X2Go project is proud to announce a new release of the X2Go
component ,,x2gothinclient''.
New gains of this version of ,,x2gothinclient'' are:
o new flavor: MATE minidesktop (in addition to X2Go Client as displaymanager)
o many bug fixes, for instance for Xinerama and PulseAudio support/integration
and USB-based mounts
o support for Debian stretch
o updated translations
o CD manager/power ejection utility ported to Qt5
The X2Go Project thanks Mark Pedersen-Cook, Kaan Ozdincer, Martti Pitkänen and
Thierry Kauffmann for improving the internationalization support of our software.

x2gothinclient (1.5.0.0) RELEASED; urgency=low
.
[ Mike Gabriel ]
* New upstream release (1.5.0.0):
- Stop advertising GNOME in default session profile. Switching to MATE.
- Use type=auto for automatic keyboard detection as default in example
session profiles.
- Avoid error message in x2gothinclient_shell if the chroot does not have
a file-or-symlink /etc/resolv.conf.
- Use resolv.conf file from host system when running
x2gothinclient_upgrade.
- Add COPYING file.
- Run x2gothinclient_shell and x2gothinclient_upgrade with LANG=C.
- Don't run x2gothinclient_init inside TCE chroot operations
(x2gothinclient_shell or x2gothinclient_upgrade).
- Avoid x2gothinclient_init failures, use if..then..fi instead of
the test command.
- Init scripts: Provide status option.
- Use lazy unmounts for unmounting bind-mounted /proc, /sys, /dev/pts
after exiting the TCE chroot (x2gothinclient_create,
x2gothinclient_shell, x2gothinclient_upgrade, x2gothinclient_cleanup).
- Assure that a tmpfs under <chroot>/root gets mounted and cleanly
unmounted (x2gothinclient_shell, x2gothinclient_upgrade).
- Use run-parts to initialize the TCE during runtime. (Fixes: #419).
- New TCE component: x2gothinclient-minidesktop. Instead of using
X2Go Client as login manager, we launch a minimal MATE desktop and
connect to X2Go sessions from there.
. Add WindowList applet to MATE panel.
. On $HOME creation, copy x2gothinclient-minidesktop.desktop into
~/Desktop.
. Provide init script for x2gothinclient-minidesktop to handle
maintenance tasks if TCE is installed with in minidesktop flavour.
. Tweak MATE minidesktop via GScheme overrides.
. Launch MATE minidesktop via LightDM autologin feature.
. Add XDG autostart .desktop file for the TCE's X2Go Client.
. Add VERSION.<package> file for x2gothinclient-minidesktop.
. Make X2Go TCE layout / appearance overridable by installing
debian-edu-artwork package.
. Use default X2Go Client background for x2gothinclient-minidesktop.
Provide configurable desktop background instead. Install desktop
background as desktop-base alternative.
. On minidesktop TCE creation based on wheezy, pull in packages from
wheezy-backports (i.e. MATE desktop environment).
. MATE Application menu: Move the default X2Go Client .desktop file out
of the way (dpkg-divert) and provide the TCE's .desktop file instead.
. Make sure that launching x2goclient via a terminal or the run command
box in MATE results in the restricted TCE X2Go Client.
. Make contrib and non-free software available on minidesktop TCE
creation.
. Disallow Caja to handle storage media (automounting, opening, etc.).
. Enable usbmounts and smartcard rules for minidestop TCE flavour.
. Enforce TCE session restart after logout.
. Provide Web browser shortcut in the MATE panel.
. Enable native-protocol-tcp module in pulseaudio on every X2Go Client
launch. Allow access from local host only, require auth cookie.
- Adapt management package to TCE flavouring. Add new configuration
option in x2gothinclient_settings: TC_FLAVOUR (can be: minidesktop or
displaymanager).
- Use proper quotations in several X2Go TCE scripts.
- Don't choke if /etc/resolv.conf in the TCE chroot is a symbolic link
(in x2gothinclient_shell, x2gothinclient_upgrade).
- README.i18n: Add file that explains the translation workflow for
this package. Thanks to Mark Pedersen-Cook for drafting this file.
- For X2Go TCE in display manager mode, set login backgrounds of all
screens (if more than one is used) to a blue'ish background color.
(Fixes: #718).
- TCE in display manager mode: Don't align multiple heads next to
one another if a (Wacom) touchscreen is detected in the list of heads.
(Fixes: #719).
- management/sbin/x2gothinclient_update: Create
$TC_CHROOT/etc/x2go/x2gothinclient_init.d/ before copying files into it.
- management/sbin/x2gothinclient_update: Consider known_hosts2 FreeRDP host
key files, known_hosts was used for FreeRDP v1.x and are in fact
deprecated nowadays.
- management/sbin/x2gothinclient_create: Stop using deprecated --force-yes.
- 010_x2gothinclient-fresh-home: Install FreeRDPv2's known_hosts2 file into
~x2gothinclient user's home dir when creating a fresh home.
- x2gothinclient_sessions: Provide RDP-Direct session profile example that
utilizes FreeRDPv2 rather than deprecated FreeRDPv1.x. (On Debian
stretch, it is recommended to use FreeRDPv2 from Debian
stretch-backports).
- x2gothinclient-<TC-FLAVOUR>_start: Drop requirement of having symlink
/etc/x2go/x2gothinclient_start. Now all code passages that use the _start
wrapper, use the x2gothinclient-<TC-FLAVOUR>_start file directly.
* debian/control:
+ Rename bin:package: x2gothinclient -> x2gothinclient-daemon.
+ Make sure x2gothinclient-minidesktop pulls in X11 and X2Go Client.
+ New bin:package: x2gothinclient-common. Commonly shared by
x2gothinclient-minidesktop and x2gothinclient-displaymanager
+ Add D (displaymanager flavour, minidesktop flavour): pinentry-x2go.
+ Add D (x2gothinclient-minidesktop): lightdm.
+ Add R (x2gothinclient-minidesktop): flashplugin-nonfree.
+ Add R (x2gothinclient-chroot): ntp.
+ Move to Pre-D (x2gothinclient-minidesktop): x2goclient, lightdm. Make
sure those packages are installed already avoiding dpkg-divert failures.
+ Allow co-installation of displaymanager and minidesktop bin:pkgs. They
have no conflicting files and we should rather make the startup mode
configurable through debconf.
* debian/copyright:
+ Use copyright-format 1.0.
.
